Hi I have afib which I had treated by ablation three years ago......on one of me routine holters after it picked up a short run of NSVT, panic ensued with Dr asking me if I'd passed out or if anyone's died suddenly in family....I had cardiac MRI which came back normal and my EP said it's if no concern.......trouble is I did alot if reading about VT and have convinced myself I'm getting short runs if it, it's really getting me diwn

One thing I was told was in a structurally normal heart it's of very little concern.....only a concern in the presence of other heart issues

A holter monitor picked up one run of 11 beats of NSVT - that was six years ago and it hasn’t recurred. My cardiologist said he wasn’t concerned about it but it did worry me at the time. I comforted myself with my own explanation that it was really just 11 consecutive PVC’s in my irritable heart.

Hey jockmcp

How is your NSVT going? I came across your post because I recently have had issues with it and I’m trying to find others who have similar issues. I don’t have Afib but I have atrial tachycardia and now I’ve had three episodes of NSVT two this week and the first one was over a year ago. What has your doctors said about it all?
